the negligence of someone or something else. Brett has always
had a passion for helping others and began his legal career as an

from criminal charges. Brett left the Public Defender’s Office and
defended the insurance companies and their individual insureds
in negligence cases. After gaining incredible insight as to how
insurance companies evaluate claims, Brett felt a higher calling
to help those who were injured as opposed to working for the
insurance companies. Brett now focuses his practice on automobile
negligence; medical malpractice; trips, slips, and falls; wrongful
death; and negligent security.
